Sort Inbound Deliveries by Recipient Name, Date and More

Discover how to organize and sort your inbound deliveries by recipient, date, and custom criteria in Parcel Tracker.

When managing a high volume of mail, finding what you need quickly is essential. Sorting allows you to instantly reorganize your dashboard alphabetically, chronologically, or by any other active column, ensuring the most relevant parcels are always at the top of your screen.

In Parcel Tracker, the way your data is labeled depends on your active features. By default, if you only track incoming items, your main navigation menu will simply say Parcels. Once the Outbound Parcels feature is enabled, the Parcels menu automatically expands to include separate categories for Inbound and Outbound. This allows you to easily distinguish between incoming deliveries and outgoing shipments within your account.

Sorting on the Web Platform

  1. Log in to the Parcel Tracker web platform, click Parcels on the main navigation bar, and select Inbound.

  2. Ensure your desired columns are active (such as Recipient, Checked-in Date, or Courier) by clicking Columns and checking the relevant boxes.

  3. Click Sort at the top of the dashboard to open your sorting options.

  4. Select the category you wish to organize your directory by (e.g., Recipient Name or Status).

  5. Click the Up/Down arrow found at the top of the dropdown to toggle between ascending and descending order.

Sorting on the Mobile App

  1. Launch the app, tap Manage on the bottom navigation bar.

  2. Afterwards, select Parcels.

  3. Start by selecting either the Synched tab (backed up to the cloud) or the Pending tab (waiting for an internet connection to sync) at the top of the screen, then tap the Filter icon in the upper right corner.

  4. Under the Sort section, select your preferred organizing criteria, such as ordering your list from newest to oldest or sorting alphabetically by recipient name.

  5. Tap View at the bottom of the screen to apply your new sort order and return to your organized list.
